A simple yet effective dessert: white cream with lemon, with lemon curd. The white cream, or Blancmange, is a recipe from my childhood: I was mom when I was in the mood for sweet. Does not contain eggs, so it is definitely lighter than custard, and you can spice up in different ways: I prefer lemon zest and a little vanilla extract. Lemon curd is a perfect match, But if you don't feel like doing it or buy it, sounds great even a tablespoon of your favorite jam or fresh strawberries, Maybe toss with a little sugar and lemon.
Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 500 milliliters of fresh whole milk
- 2 tablespoons of flour (30 grams)
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar (80 grams)
- zest of one lemon (I, with the knife, get a thin ribbon)
- vanilla extract as required
- 4 tbsp lemon curd
Mix in a saucepan the sugar with the flour. Merge to thread little milk stirring vigorously so that no lumps: When you will be formed a thick batter and smooth, Add the remaining milk, vanilla, lemon zest. Put the saucepan on the stove.
Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until the cream comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Pour into cups and let it cool at room temperature, then store it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Serve the cream with a dollop of lemon curd (to spread it slightly heat it in a water bath mirror; be careful because once poured over cream no longer put in the refrigerator because the lemon curd tends to harden with cold).

ADA Hi really delicious your glasses, but I wanted to ask you can make homemade lemon curd, or you must purchase it? Thanks and good day!!!
Hello Joan, lemon curd you see pictured was done in house, but you can’ also buy. And we anticipate that in a few days we will post the recipe combined with a delicious brioche bread… 😉
This version looks very light too, cold we layer a cake with this?
Thanks Ash. In my opinion, in a layer of cake lemon curd could be a little heavy. Anyway, in a few days we will publish the lemon curd (home made) recipe, combined with a brioche…
